Mail Services

As an integral part of the Facilities Services team, Mail Services provides the University with extensive expertise and knowledge in the areas of mailing, shipping, and understanding and applying postal regulations. Postal automation and processing services help the University save money.

Mail Services is responsible for the collection and delivery of U.S. and campus mail, receipt and delivery of parcels, and processing of metered mail, and acts as a liaison between the United States Postal Service (USPS) and IWU.

Mail Services is ready to answer questions and help University departments set up the most cost-effective mailing operation.
